Okay so I meant to set myself a limit of 50 poems but then I wrote this and I did't feel like starting a new collection just yet (isn't that the cry of writers everywhere? ;D). I was mostly playing around with formatting when I wrote this but please still comment, vote, and follow. Thanks for reading!!!
I'm sorry
his eyes whisper
he's sorry for the late-night lies
for the sound of glass hearts shattering
and all the silent screams
I'm sorry
mine reply
sorry for the countless laughs and sun-filled days
sorry for the wallpaper, stained
(with charcoal, of course)
after I captured every star-struck moment
Sorry, sorry, sorry
the words hang in the air,
a life raft
neither or us will reach for first
it's a stalemate of the worst kind
and I remember
when daddy laughed
and said that people don't really
play to the bitter end
in chess
but I guess we do
we're both drowning in the void,
sitting and watching,
listening to the clock count down
the the tally of little soldier boys,
dead in a field of blood
but we fight to the Last Man Standing
unspoken apologies
are our only tombstone
Sorry, sorry, sorry
